I'm Sorry I Don't Believe You

Because action speaks louder than words, and yours have spoken loud and clear.

I'm Sorry I Don't Believe You
Miguel Oliveira

I am sorry I don’t believe you when you say you love me and everyone else no matter our skin color, political opinions or sexual orientations and then stand behind a man who does anything but love.

Your overconfidence in this being God’s will diminishes all the faith I have in a God. Why would a God allow people to live in a state of constant consternation for the next four years?

I am sorry I don’t believe you when you say this is God’s will because as humans we have free will we get to exercise, and you made your will clear, and your actions spoke louder than your words of love.

I am sorry I don’t believe you when you say “this happens every time; People think it’s the end of the world but the sun always rises in the morning.” The sun may rise in the morning, but for some it will only rise to cast light on the fact that they will now wake up daily with the fear of losing their healthcare, right to practice religion, right to choose or even members of their family.

So I am sorry if I don’t believe your superficial words of comfort in the midst of this fear.

I'm sorry I don't believe you when you say you're trying to see things from my point of view, because it usually ends with you interrupting me to explain what the "correct" way to look at it *actually* is or to point out a flaw in my beliefs.

I will however believe and hold on to the small bit of dwindling hope I have in humanity: the fact that when this is told a hundred years from now, I was on the right side of history.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
